Chapter 121 Meet By Chance

Secondly, he would be able to collect cards from all fallen enemies which would solidify his position on the rankings.

Thirdly, he would be able to eliminate potential enemies who could prove to be a hindrance to his team in the next test that involved the fight between high schools.

As he continued to be on the lookout for potential enemies with the help of his Time Space eye, Zavier came across a little girl who was carrying a fruit basket that looked larger than her own size. He wondered how she even managed to carry it with a body that small. It must have been quite heavy for her but the girl wasn't breaking a sweat as she cheerfully made her way towards him.

The little girl was as friendly as his little cousin Nadia. She was humming throughout the time he watched her. She was skipping along the path or at least tried to do so as he watched her try to lift off the ground but the burden of the fruit basked kept her tethered to the ground.

Zavier could feel a special energy coursing through this little girl through the use of his Time Space eye. It was like her bloodline energy was in harmony with her surroundings. She seemed to exude nature just by breathing. There was not an ounce of hostility in any of her actions towards anybody let alone Zavier whom she had only met by chance.

Something told Zavier that the girl was not even capable of showing a hostile attitude from the way she acted.

As soon as the girl saw Zavier, she greeted him in an overly loud voice as if she was unable to contain the excitement in her voice. She looked as if she wasn't the part of the deadly competition but had come out on a hiking trip in the forest. There was no worry or frustration whatsoever in the way she presented herself.

Zavier couldn't help but find that very endearing somehow. When the girl smiled at him, his wariness and anger seemed to melt away.

The basket in her hand was full of many fruits that she seemed to have freshly picked. There were different kinds of berries and some apples that looked fresh and juicy at the first sight.

As soon as she greeted Zavier, she took out an apple from the fruit basket and held it out in front of Zavier.

p Zavier didn't understand what she was trying to do but from the smile plastered on her face, it seemed that she was offering him an apple from her basket as a greeting gift.

The little girl seemed to have been born with an irresistible charm that attracted him and endeared her to him. He tried but could not refuse her smiling face. So he reached out and took the apple that she had offered to him.

Despite what he felt about the girl, he did not forget to check the apple for any toxin otherwise he might have even become the new Snow White. He had only taken it after thoroughly checking the inside of the apple using his Time Space eye.

Just as he was looked up from observing the apple in his hand in order to thank the little girl, there was no one in sight. It was as if she had vanished into thin air. Not even the ambient mana had been disturbed that would have allowed him to find the direction that she had escaped towards. It all seemed very strange to him. Had it not been for the apple in his hand, Zavier might have even doubted the existence of the girl itself.

Zavier wondered if he had found some powerful contestant that was capable of casting high level illusions that could fool even him. There was no other explanation for the little girl. But whatever it was, Zavier didn't think that it meant him any harm.

He took a bite out of the apple in his hand that looked as delicious as it appeared. The taste was so sweet and the texture felt so soft that Zavier was hardly able to believe that this was still an apple. He finished it in one go and threw away the seeds in the bushes nearby.

And by the time Zavier was done eating the apple, he had come up with the plan to look for the strongest competitor in this test because that person would yield the largest amount of points. Also, he was going to be the greatest danger to his teammates in the next round.

The clones and Zavier went on their way to find the strongest competitor but the result of their search was not what they expected.

It was neither his clones nor him who found the next target. Someone had found Zavier instead.

It was none other than Rebecca who had previously been a great headache to Zavier. Zavier had even threatened to fuck her like a bitch if he ever encountered her during the competition again.

From the looks of it, the proud Rebecca had finally discovered the benefits of stealing cards. When Zavier had suggested the same, she had acted like she was disgusted by the very idea and now she was happily prowling the forest in search of her next prey.

Zavier couldn't help but smirk menacingly at the thought of what he was about to do to this heartless girl.

Zavier already knew that she was amongst the strongest competitors as her diamond body would have been hard to handle for any single individual unless it was someone that didn't rely on physical confrontation alone. Still, Rebecca had crushed various individuals and had managed to grab a lot of cards from the opponents that she had beaten down.

Rebecca's sense of self and narcissistic attitude deepened every time Rebecca crushed a team of players all by herself. She felt her strength to be invincible amongst her peers and grew more and more confident in it. She grew more fearless as she combed through the forest and threw caution to the wind as she looked for more prey.

Thanks to that carelessness, she didn't know who she was up against now. She even failed to notice the two more clones that were still nearby. Zavier didn't fault her for not noticing as he had already known that she wasn't very good at perception skills from the time that he had teamed up with her.

Zavier was put into a dilemma when he was confronted by her. Not because he couldn't beat her because whether he beat her or not, the point total of his team wouldn't have changed at all. It was quite meaningless for him to fight her for no benefit at all. He didn't want to waste the precious time that he could use looking for Kacie or fighting individuals that could actually yield more points to him.

Zavier decided that fighting the bitch wouldn't be worth all the time that he would waste. Thinking about that he was about to escape but a string of words from Rebecca stopped him in his steps.

"What did you just say? Care to repeat it for me?"

Zavier's voice contained as much venom as it could contain. He had decided to avoid her because it was a waste of time for him but the goat had presented itself for slaughter and had even taunted the butcher. How could Zavier reject an opportunity like that?

Rebecca who was ever ready to butt heads with everyone who was not her, didn't back down as expected and repeated the words that she had previously uttered in order to lure her victim.

"Has the standard of men deteriorated so far that they run after seeing the shadow of a pretty woman? I was hoping to run into a man who would be able to handle the needs of a little woman like you but it seems that your qualifications in that regard aren't enough to call you a man. Go on...run along now."

She had not only repeated her earlier remarks, she had even added some things to rile Zavier even further. She had gone so far as to use seduction tactics to lure him as the previous comment hadn't seemed effective.

She had never been good at tracking and perception so she had to lure her targets with bait or a snide comment so they wouldn't try to escape from her before she was able to suppress them. She wasn't an agility based combat magician after all.
